CHAPTER 11
John 11:1-16
1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary
and her sister Martha. 2 And it was that Mary who anointed the Lord with
ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
3 The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou
lovest is sick. 4 But when Jesus heard it, he said, This sickness is not
unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified
thereby. 5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. 6 When
therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the
place where he was. 7 Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go
into Judaea again. 8 The disciples say unto him, Rabbi, the Jews were but
now seeking to stone thee; and goest thou thither again? 9 Jesus answered,
Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he
stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 10 But if a man
walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him. 11 These
things spake he: and after this he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is
fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 12 The
disciples therefore said unto him, Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he will
recover. 13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he
spake of taking rest in sleep. 14 Then Jesus therefore said unto them
plainly, Lazarus is dead. 15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not
there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. 16
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples,
Let us also go, that we may die with him.
John 11:17-32
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days
already. 18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs
off; 19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them
concerning their brother. 20 Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus
was coming, went and met him: but Mary still sat in the house. 21 Martha
therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had
not died. 22 And even now I know that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God,
God will give thee. 23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the
resurrection at the last day. 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the
resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet
shall he live; 26 and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die.
Believest thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that
thou art the Christ, the Son of God, even he that cometh into the world. 28
And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister
secretly, saying, The Teacher is her, and calleth thee. 29 And she, when
she heard it, arose quickly, and went unto him. 30 (Now Jesus was not yet
come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.) 31
The Jews then who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when
they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her,
supposing that she was going unto the tomb to weep there. 32 Mary
therefore, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his
feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not
died. John 11:33-44
33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came
with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, 34 and said, Where
have ye laid him? They say unto him, Lord, come and see. 35 Jesus wept. 36
The Jews therefore said, Behold how he loved him! 37 But some of them said,
Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him that was blind, have caused
that this man also should not die? 38 Jesus therefore again groaning in
himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Jesus saith, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was
dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time the body decayeth; for he hath
been dead four days. 40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that,
if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 41 So they took
away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank
thee that thou heardest me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but
because of the multitude that standeth around I said it, that they may
believe that thou didst send me. 43 And when he had thus spoken, he cried
with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44 He that was dead came forth,
bound hand and foot with grave-clothes; and his face was bound about with a
napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go. John 11:45-57
45 Many therefore of the Jews, who came to Mary and beheld that which he
did, believed on him. 46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and
told them the things which Jesus had done. 47 The chief priests therefore
and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man
doeth many signs. 48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him:
and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation. 49
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said unto
them, Ye know nothing at all, 50 nor do ye take account that it is
expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the
whole nation perish not. 51 Now this he said not of himself: but, being
high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation;
52 and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into
one the children of God that are scattered abroad. 53 So from that day
forth they took counsel that they might put him to death. 54 Jesus
therefore walked no more openly among the Jews, but departed thence into
the country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim; and there
he tarried with the disciples. 55 Now the passover of the Jews was at hand:
and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, to
purify themselves. 56 They sought therefore for Jesus, and spake one with
another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? That he will not come
to the feast? 57 Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given
commandment, that, if any man knew where he was, he should show it, that
they might take him. CHAPTER 12
John 12:1-11
1 Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where
Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead. 2 So they made him a supper
there: and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at meat with
him. 3 Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious,
and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the
house was filled with the odor of the ointment. 4 But Judas Iscariot, one
of his disciples, that should betray him, saith, 5 Why was not this
ointment sold for three hundred shillings, and given to the poor? 6 Now
this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a
thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein. 7 Jesus therefore
said, Suffer her to keep it against the day of my burying. 8 For the poor
ye have always with you; but me ye have not always. 9 The common people
therefore of the Jews learned that he was there: and they came, not for
Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised
from the dead. 10 But the chief priests took counsel that they might put
Lazarus also to death; 11 because that by reason of him many of the Jews
went away, and believed on Jesus.
John 12:12-19
12 On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they
heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 took the branches of the palm
trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed is he
that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel. 14 And Jesus,
having found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, 15 Fear not,
daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. 16
These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was
glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and
that they had done these things unto him. 17 The multitude therefore that
was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from
the dead, bare witness. 18 For this cause also the multitude went and met
him, for that they heard that he had done this sign. 19 The Pharisees
therefore said among themselves, Behold how ye prevail nothing: lo, the
world is gone after him.
John 12:20-26
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the
feast: 21 these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee,
and asked him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 22 Philip cometh and
telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell Jesus. 23 And
Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should
be glorified. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat
fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it
beareth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that
hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any
man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my
servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honor. John 12:27-36
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this
hour. But for this cause came I unto this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy
name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, saying, I have both
glorified it, and will glorify it again. 29 The multitude therefore, that
stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel
hath spoken to him. 30 Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come
for my sake, but for your sakes. 31 Now is the judgment of this world: now
shall the prince of this world be cast out. 32 And I, if I be lifted up
from the earth, will draw all men unto myself. 33 But this he said,
signifying by what manner of death he should die. 34 The multitude
therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ
abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up?
who is this Son of man? 35 Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little
while is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness
overtake you not: and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither
he goeth. 36 While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may
become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid
himself from them. John 12:37-41
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not
on him: 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he
spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the
Lord been revealed? 39 For this cause they could not believe, for that
Isaiah said again, 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and he hardened their
heart; Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart,
And should turn, And I should heal them. 41 These things said Isaiah,
because he saw his glory; and he spake of him. John 12:42-43
42 Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the
Pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be put out of the
synagogue: 43 for they loved the glory that is of men more than the glory
that is of God.
John 12:44-50
44 And Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me,
but on him that sent me. 45 And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that
sent me. 46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on
me may not abide in the darkness. 47 And if any man hear my sayings, and
keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to
save the world. 48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath
one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in
the last day. 49 For I spake not from myself; but the Father that sent me,
he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life eternal: the things therefore
which I speak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak. CHAPTER 13
John 13:1-17
1 Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour was
come that he should depart out of this world unto his Father, having loved
his own that were in the world, he loved them unto the end. 2 And during
supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot,
Simon's son, to betray him, 3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all
the things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and goeth unto
God, 4 riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments; and he took a
towel, and girded himself. 5 Then he poureth water into the basin, and
began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel
wherewith he was girded. 6 So he cometh to Simon Peter. He saith unto him,
Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do
thou knowest not now; but thou shalt understand hereafter. 8 Peter saith
unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee
not, thou hast no part with me. 9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my
feet only, but also my hands and my head. 10 Jesus saith to him, He that is
bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye
are clean, but not all. 11 For he knew him that should betray him;
therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. 12 So when he had washed their
feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them, Know
ye what I have done to you? 13 Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord: and ye say
well; for so I am. 14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your
feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an
example, that ye also should do as I have done to you. 16 Verily, verily, I
say unto you, a servant is not greater than his lord; neither one that is
sent greater than he that sent him. 17 If ye know these things, blessed are
ye if ye do them. John 13:18-30
18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the
scripture may be fulfilled: He that eateth my bread lifted up his heel
against me. 19 From henceforth I tell you before it come to pass, that,
when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. 20 Verily, verily, I
say unto you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that
receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 21 When Jesus had thus said, he
was troubled in the spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say
unto you, that one of you shall betray me. 22 The disciples looked one on
another, doubting of whom he spake. 23 There was at the table reclining in
Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. 24 Simon Peter
therefore beckoneth to him, and saith unto him, Tell us who it is of whom
he speaketh. 25 He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast saith unto
him, Lord, who is it? 26 Jesus therefore answereth, He it is, for whom I
shall dip the sop, and give it him. So when he had dipped the sop, he
taketh and giveth it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 And after the
sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, What thou
doest, do quickly. 28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake
this unto him. 29 For some thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus
said unto him, Buy what things we have need of for the feast; or, that he
should give something to the poor. 30 He then having received the sop went
out straightway: and it was night.
John 13:31-35
31 When therefore he was gone out, Jesus saith, Now is the Son of man
glorified, and God is glorified in him; 32 and God shall glorify him in
himself, and straightway shall he glorify him. 33 Little children, yet a
little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews,
Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say unto you. 34 A new commandment I
give unto you, that ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye
also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my
disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 13:36-38
36 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered,
Whither I go, thou canst not follow now; but thou shalt follow afterwards.
37 Peter saith unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee even now? I will
lay down my life for thee. 38 Jesus answereth, Wilt thou lay down thy life
for me? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou
hast denied me thrice.
